I was running in circles, I was chasing my pain, yeah, I thought I was free

But I was wearing these chains, dark nights whisper

They say you'll never change, but then I heard a voice, yeah, you called out my name

I was sinking low, I was drowning in pride, I was hiding my scars

I was dying inside, but mercy found me where I fell

Your grace pulled me out of the pits of hell

I used to run to the world, yeah, when I needed peace, but now my heart has changed

I have been redeemed, you met me there in the mess I made

Washed my past with the price you paid, and now I'm walking in light

I got no weight to bear how your love filled a void that was always there

I was blind, but now I see how your love is chasing after me

Now the chains don't hold me

Jesus broke them and he rewrote my story

Every tear, every fear hit the ground

I was lost, but now I'm found

Now the chains don't hold me

Jesus broke them and he rewrote my story

Every tear, every fear hit the ground

Yeah the chains don't hold me now

Every lie that tried to blind me, every fear that held me down

Had to crumble at your mercy when your love came pouring out

I ain't living as a captive, I'm a child of the king

Now the chains are just reminders of the man I used to be

Cause the cross became the doorway to a brand new life for me

So I'm running in the open with a fire in my soul

No more hiding in the ruins, yeah, your freedom made me whole

You tore open every prison

Broke the locks I couldn't break and I thank

Lifted burdens off my shoulders

Gave me breath that I couldn't take and I thank

That the chains don't hold me

Jesus broke them and he rewrote my story

Every tear, every fear hit the ground

I was lost, but now I'm found

Now the chains don't hold me

Jesus broke them and he rewrote my story

Every tear, every fear hit the ground

Yeah, the chains don't hold me now
